Director X is widely known for his music videos for artists including Drake, Future, and Kendrick Lamar among others, but he’s also been heavily involved in making various movies and TV shows, including 2018’s Superfly.
The Toronto-born filmmaker has released the trailer for a new series on the way called Robyn Hood which puts a modern Canadian twist on the similarly-titled famous English legend.
Robyn Hood follows the titular rapper and her anti-authoritarian hip-hop band as they fight for equality and justice against “the corrupt elite” in the city of New Nottingham.
“They believed in a show with a black cast wearing costumes and doing hero business, that doesn’t focus on the “struggle” but is a fun action adventure show that just so happens to have a black cast,” Director X wrote on Instagram.
